There is a decided disposition on the Republican side of the House to prevent the consideration of any general legislation after the disposal of the Warner Silver bill, and prominent members of the party said to-day there wos no doubt but the Republicans would follow this course if an attempt should be made to take up any various other measures which have been reported by committees the present session, other than those making appropriations for the army and Executive branches of the Government. To accomplish this the Republicans will have to refrain from voting, which will leave the House without a quorum. A C0MINO BILL. The House committee on the State of the Law respecting the declaration of the result of the election of President and Vice President to-day agreed upon a bill, and authorized Representative Bicknell, Chairman, to report it to the House with the approval of the committee. PREPARING THE CORPSE. The House committee on Appropriations to-day, after a general discussion on the Legislative Appropriation bill, agreed to concur in the Senate amendments, and instructed Chairman Atkins to report the bill with a recommendation that it pass.

Special to the Cincinnati Tines. Washington, May 22. The Presi dents Private Secretary cxnresscs the opinion that there is no foundation for the rumored change in the Cabinet. Forty-aizlh Cong-rest Special Session, SENATE. Mr. McDonald asked leave to introduce his bill regulating the use of the army, of which he gave notice Tuesday. Mr. lulmuncle asked whether the bill was intended to enlarge or diminish the existing constitutional powers of the Ex ecutive in the ubc oi the army. Mr. MoDonald said it nronerlv rceu lated the President's powers under the Constitution. The bill would show for itself whether it enlarged or restricted those powers. Mr. Edmunds wished to know if Mr. McDonald's opinion its effect was to repeal or only to define existing laws, and it lie thought any legislation on the sub- led necessary. Mr. McDonald said the nrst three sec tions under the title "insurrection," as they appear in the Revised Statutes, were in his mind in offering the bill. He desired to give his views at length Mon day. Mr. Edmunds thought no such legisla tion necessary. It did not look to the abatement of any fault in the existing laws, but he would not object to the bil being introduced. the bill wns received and laid on the table, and Mr. McDonald gave notice that he would call it np Monday and speak thereon. Mr. Wallace gave notice that he in tended to speak on the same subject after tne senator irom Indiana. Mr. Edmunds gave notice that he would speak on the same subject when he could get the lloor under the rules, Laughter. 1 lie senate then took up the bill to pre yent the introduction and spread of con tagions and infectious diseases. Mr. Uockrel, by request, introduced t bill to provide for the construction and completion of certain trans-continental lines oi railway, and for other purposes. Referred. Mr. Pendleton, from the committee on Indian A flairs, reported with amendments the Senate bill to authorize the Secretary of the Interior to deposit Indian trust funds in the United States Treasury in lieu of investment. Placed on the calendar.Mr. Hereford, from the committee on Commerce, reported without amendment the House bill authorizing the Secretary of War to expend on the purchase of lanus requireu lor me prosecution oi me improvement of the Great Kanawha and Kentucky rivers such portion as may be necessary of last year's appropriations for those improvements. Placed on the calendar. ; , . . j . Mr. Gordon, from the committee on Commerce, reported without amendment the Senate bill relative to the transportation of animals. Placed on the calendar. Mr. Slater introduced a bill to regulate intercourse with citizens of the Chinese Empire visiting or residing in the United States and for other purposes. Ordered to be tabled and printed. The morning hour having expired, Mr. Harris called up the Senate bill to prevent the introduction and spread of contagious or Infectious diseases, and moved to ignore the original bill and consider the substitute reported Irom the committee May 9, which embodied what ap peared to be the views of the majority of the Senate, though not so satisfactory to the committee as was the nrst bill. After further remarks by Mr, Conk-ling, Mr. Edmunds expressed a wish to examine more at length, and on his mo tion the Senate adjourned. ' ' HOUSE. Mr. Goode introduced a bill authorizing the Secretary of the Navy to place vessels and hulks at the disposal of the Commissioners of Quarantine or other proper persons at ports of the United States. Re ferred. The House then resumed, as the business of the morning hour, consideration of the bill to repeal and amend the lawsrelating to the transfer of cases from the State to Federal courts. The Republicans refused to vote on the demand for the previous question, thereby blocking business. Various propositions were thereupon ' suggested on both sides, but were not acceded to. Mr.Frye wanted the bill referred to the Judiciary committee, and Mr. Harris wanted the Republicans, in case the motion was voted down, to withdrawdilutory motions and filibustering. Mr. Conger took exceptions to the use of offensive epithets, and objected to any further statement by Mr. Harris. Mr. Garfield declared that all that was wanted on the Republican side was to have a fair chance for debate, but that was cut off by the demand for the previous question. He thought it better to have the time used in debate than wasted in such attempts. Mr. Fernando Wood suggested that there were other committees that desired to make reports in the morning hour, and that were prevented doing So by this bill blocking the way. He was willing there should be full debate and wanted to know how much time would satisfy the other side, to that Mr. Uarheld replied he could not fix any time. Mr. Harris Name a time and you shall have it. Mr. Conger I will name the third Tuesday in January. fLnnpriteiO Mr. Frye remarked that the bill affect ed every large corporation in the country and should be considered by the Judiciary committee. Mr. Cox was willing to have the vote taken on that motion, but with the un derstanding that in case of its being voted down there should be no more dilatory proceedings, the .Republicans declined to enter into any such arrangement, and Mr. Cox exclaimed: "Then we cannot trust you." Finally, as all efforts at com promise had tailed, and as the Kenuhli- cans declined to vote, there was a call of the House. The call of the House consumed the morning hour and the bill wentoverwith out action until Saturday next. Consideration was then resumed of the Warner Silver bill, and the House agreed to the committee amendment to the bill, winch provides that certihcates ol depos it shall be in a denomination of not less than five dollars instead of ten dollars, as originally provided in the bill. The question then recurred upon the next committee amendment, providing that certihcates oi deposit may be com puted as a part ot the lawtut money re serve of the National Banks. After some debate it waB agreed that debate should be allowed on the eighth section. Mr.Unger opposed the amendment and called attention to the danger of allowing National Banks to count as part of their legal reserve the certihcates provided for in the eighth section, twenty per cent, of which might be issued beyond the coin and bulliou in the Treasury. He charac terized them as "hat" certificates Mr. Buckner asked Mr. Conger whether he would have any objection to the pro vision u that part as to 2U per cent, ad ditional were stricken out. Mr. Conger replied that if there was such an opportunity to amend the section it would remove that objection. Mr. iJuckner We pronose to do that, Mr. Conger That shows the folly of moving tne previous question on the section.Mr. Warner expressed his willingness to vote for an amendment to strike out the 20 per cent, provision. Mr. Longer expressed his sntistaction at witnessing some returning sense of justice on the part of the gentleman from unio. Mr. Hawley expressed his dissatisfac tion with the whole bill. Mr. Springer The law under which these bonds were issued Drovides in terms that bonds shall be discharged in coin of standard value then in existence. I defy the gentleman from Connecticut (Hawley) to point out any act that ever hxed a dif ferent contract for issuing these bonds, Mr. Sapp Did not the Government sell all these bonds lor a premium greenbacks and pocket the difference? Mr. Springer that may be trne, but the law stands on the statute book, and there can be no contract for the sale of those bonds except in pursuance of law. Mr. Sapp Would it be honorable in the Uoycrnment to sell these bonds on gold basis and then turn round and pay them on a depreciated basis Mr. Springer It is honorable for the Government to carry out its contract, and it is illegal and dishonorable tor an; officer of the Government to make a dii fcrent contract than that authorized by law. Applause on the Democratic side. The law which authorized the sale of these bonds is the only authority for issu ing them, and that law says that the bonds shall be paid in coin oi weight and line ncss then established bylaw; that the weight was 25 8-10 grains gold, and 71 2 grains silver, the holder ot the bonds takes that statute with him and takes nothing else. The holders of bonds know that well, because at the last session of Congress a concurrent resolution, offered by Senator Matthews, was adopted which served notice on all holders of these bonds that they were payable in silver dollars ot 4i'j grains each, and since that notice was served more bonds have been taken than ever before. Mr. Chittenden informed Mr. Springer that on J anuary z last he had presented his ten dollar bill at the Sub-Treasury and had received gold lor it, and now, said he (suiting the action to the word), I present a gold piece as a historical record to the gentleman from North Caro lina (Steele). Laughter. Continuing, he said: There is not a word in any dic tionary that I have ever read which fitly expresses the folly and audacity of the authors of this measure for corrupting and inllating the currency. Laughter.! It fairly out-Herods Herod. It implies that a majority ol the American people are knaves or fools. fContinued lauehter.l As to argument with the proposers of this measure oi iniuuioD, you nugui us wen argue with mad bulls. Laughter. J As an executor I own seven thousand dollars in 44 per cent, bonds, for which I paid the Government gold last year. I knew then that the interest is payable in coin, but I also knew that the Government had never not hardly ever, but never loud laughter offered its creditors a dollar in silver for payment for interest on its bonds. If I borrow a good horse from the gentleman from Illinois (Springer) and oner him a bad mule in return, he will say that I am a damned scoundrel. Shouts of laughter. And so I say that the Government of the United States is a damned scoundrel if it pays me in depreciated silver the interest on the $7,000 worth of bonds which I hold for a widow. This proposition for issuing certificates is the greatest monstrosity ever proposed in a civilized Legislature. There is not a member of the House who votes for this bill that will not repent of it in dust and ashes, provided he is Bubject to the honest sense of the American people. 1 thank the great God who made this country that there is no more chance of this bill passing than there is of the country sinking into the bottomless pit of degradation. Laughter and applause. Mr. Warner argued that the provision about 20 per cent, was in the existing law, as npplying to gold, and the only object of the committee on Coinage was to extend the provision to silver. Ho had no objection to its being struck out. After some further discussion the question on the amendment, that certificates may bo computed as a part of lawful money reserve of National Banks wos rejected without division. Mr. Warren offered an amendment pro viding that gold or silver bullion, which shall become the property ot the Govern ment by the return of certificates to the Treasury in payment of dues, shall be coined and paid out the same as other money. Adopted Mr. Buckhcr ottered an amendment to the eighth section, making the minimum denomination of certificates $20 instead of $5. striking out the nrovision that the amount of certificates shall not exceed by more than twenty per cent. the amount of coin and bullion in the Treasury, and adding a provision that all certificates for gold or silver bullion shall be issued at the market value of sucn bullion at the city of New York at the time of deposit. Mr. Uarheld said that the law in reter- ence to gold certificates had been passed at a time when the Government was anxious to get by every means it could all tne goiu posHime into me .treasury, n had invited people who had gold bullion to come into the Treasury and deposit it, in order to strengthen the Government. The twenty per cent, arrangement had been made in consequence ot necessities of the Government at a time when there had been a very small outstanding volume of paper money. Now, when there was a vast volume of that money, when the financial affairs of the country were adjusted on a basis of maintaining that volume at par, it was proposed to re-enact that old clause of 1862, injecting into it silver bullion and coin. What were the certihcates to be issued for? The bill did not say they should be called gold certificates, or silver certificates, or even coin certificates. it was absolutely and hopelessly indefi nite and uncertain. It did not say whether a man depositing silver bullion could get certificates at 412 grains to the dollar; and he hoped that his colleague (Air. Warner) would not demand the previous question until he had taken three or four days to explain his great financial views. The amendment ot the gentleman from Mis souri (Mr. Buckner) made the section less utterly and absolutely bad. but the only safe thing to be done with the sec- nuu was iu Hina.e n out entirely, jiwas not even necessary to the general scope of the bill, except that the bill was now so absurd that it was made more perfect as a specimen of absurdity by leaving in than by striking it out. Mr. Warner said that the law now pro vided that coin and bullion deposited for or representing certificates should be re tained in the treasury lor payment of the same on demand. Any man who had any sense knew that meant that the bullion was represented by the certificate and that no man could claim gold for a certificate for which he had deposited silver. His colleague (Garfield) had better look at the law before he went off in a rage of nsanity. iMo man was more resnonBible for the vicious legislation of which that law was a part than his colleague, and he ought to be the last person to criticise gentlemen who now proposed to correct those errors. Mr. Belford offered an amendment for the reception of bullion at the branch mint at Denver, Col., and the issue of certificates therefor. Adopted. The previous question was then sec onded on the section and pending amendments thereto. Mr. Ewine offered an amendment to Mr. Buckner a amendment. Dividing that certificates of deposit shall be issued at the average market value of bullion silver dollars in New tork and San Francisco for the week preceding such deposit. mis was accepted by Mr. buckner. and incorporated in bis amendment. the previous question was then second ed on the section and pending amendments thereto. The first amendment was that offered by Mr. Buckner, as amended by Mr. t,wing, and it was adopted. The next amendment was the one of fered by Mr. Cloflin, to strike out that portion ot the bill providing that certih cates shall be issued in payment of in terest on the public debt. Kejected. The next amendment was the one offered sometime aeo by Mr. Lonsberrv. striking out the whole section. This was reiected yeas 99. nays 110. Mr. Ewing asked leave to amend the section as amended by Mr, Buckner, by Inserting in lieu of the words "standard silver dollars;" as they occur in that Dart ot tne amendment which was incor porated on his motion, "standard coin of like metal. To this obiection was made, and Mr, Ewing moved to reconsider the vote by which Mr. Buckner's amendment was adopted, for purposes, as he stated, of making the change he had indicated. Mr. Conger moved to lay that motion on the table, and the yeas and nays were ordered, pending which, on motion of Mr. Reed, the House, yeas 100, nays 104; ad journed. HEAR THE SLOGAN.

St. Louis, Mo., May 22. The Broad way Savings Bank closed its doors this morning, in accordance with a decision reached by the directory late lost night, and made an assignment to John Pier- borger. The principal reason for the suspension is said to be the withdrawal of about $100,000 of deposits since May 1, but there are reports current that some Directors of the bank have worked against the interests of the concern, which aided materially in bringing about the failure, Liabilities put at about $700,000, assets cannot be stated, but the President thinks .depositors will be paid in full and there will be something over for the stockhold ers. Considerable excitement existed among the depositors to-day, and there has been quite a crowd about the bank an the morning, but it has been orderly, Depositors in some other Savimrs Institu tions felt some uneasiness, snd there have been rumors of runs, etc., but none have yet oscurred.

In the House of Commons to-night, Stanhope, Under Secretary for India, introducing the Indian budget independently of the results of the inquiry in the army administration and expenditure on unproductive publio works of the Government, believed it Would be able to economize a million pounds yearly, and had no doubt of its ability to establish financial equilibrium. He explained that the authorization to borrow in England would only be used if strictly necessary, and only to the extent of five millions. I awcett, in consequence of this state ment, withdrew his amendment, express- ng alarm at the increase ol exjicnditure.

At the opening of the Presbyterian General Assembly a resolution requesting Rev. Dr. Patton not to accept an invitation to a professorship in England, but remain here, was unanimously adopted, The mileage committee reported re ceipts of &2!),2Jo. Estimated expenses will be s'-Vuu over laBt year. Jiidire Drake's resolution to postpone consideration of the report on representa tion went over. The report of the committee onMis-l-)ns for Freedmen presented receipts from church sources $52,921 ; from Btate school funds $4,240; expenditures on account of missions, $40,300; printing $007; officers and office, $3,200; investment, $0,120. They have no debts, and $2,573 on hand. There are 48 ordained missionaries, of whom 34 are colored; 9 licentiates, 26 catechista, all colored; 58 teachers, of whom 30 are colored. Eight churches were organized lost year. Communicants added, 1,215; whole numberof communicants, 10,577,131. Sunday Schools have a chartered University at Charlotte, North Carolina; Willingford Academy, Charleston, South Carolina, and Scotia Seminary, Concord, North Carolina; Normal Schools ot Chester, Bluffton and Windsboro, South Carolina. Rev. Dr. Jones, of Louisville, and Rev. Dr. Allison, of Pittsburg, addressed the Assembly on the reports. Dr. Allison deprecated the attempt to consolidate the Freedman's matters with Home Missions. He said previous ac tion of the Assembly had given assur ances of a maintainanco of the r reed-man's concerns separate, and contributions had been consequently increased to them. They have not done anything to prejudice the Presbyterian Church in the South, but ore cordially welcomed by leading PresbyterianB South. Rev. Moses A. HopkinB( colored, of Yodkin Presbytery, said tiiey asked to have their work judged on its merits, and deprecated all expressions of pity. Give the colored men their shore of the rood as they traveled and thoy would get along. They want permanent existence to he put on their manhood. He said the idea that colored people did not sppre ciate educated ministers was a mistake that be had preached a written sermon puce every Sunday. The people in his community took to Presbyterianiam strongly. They love to turn out to church, and are trying to learn to read. He told how they all took hold at his request and built a new church, which was poid for when dedicated. Rev. Mack G. Johnson, colored, of the Presbytery of Fairfield, said the people Beemed anxious to understand Presbyte-rianism and embrace it. All that is needed is encouragement by sympathy and aid. We don't want to be carried on the shoulders of the oeonle of the North, but just to be taken by the hand as a child is taught to walk, work had been making great progress in the last ten years. The harvest there is great, but laborers are few. Educated ministry of the Presbyterians is appreciated, and has a power which is felt by old time ignorant preachers, who contend against it. Rev. Maguger G. Hoskins, Presbytery of Catawba, colored, in charge of a church connected with the Scotia Seminary, said rresbyterians are getting to be known for their high character of morality and-knowledge. As people become educated they are ready to loin the Presbyterian Church. Freedmen want Bchools and churches to be planted together.

Indications of the F.xlslenee of Such an AITalr on the Ohio In Vanderbnrg Comity. Evanaville Journai.l All aloiiE the Ohio river there are marks of change in its bed, and traces ot prehistoric and savage occupancy, which are ot extreme interest to the searcher after antiquities. Dr. Stinson, who is indefatigable in his pursuit of such treasures, has discovered what was probably a prehistoric amphitheater, where savage sports or sacrifices were performed. His statement roourrcport-cr is as follows: " There is a rock point below the city of Evansville, which, I believe, has in part been the work ot human hands in the ages gone by. A great many of the rocks are so arranged as to cause one to draw a conclusion at once or form an idea of the placement by hand. T,n the first place I wovtld call attention to the fact that there is an indication of an amphitheater. In going around the upper part of Mr. Maddock's farm, there is a gradual slope rounding off in the shape of a half circle. )Jt must have been, a place ot amusement lor rude, uncivilized people. There hasseeming- ly been in the lower part a deep spring dug out, which was kept for drinking, and the river tor Datuing purposes, and above this, between Mr. Maddock's farm and the rolling mill, running through ingle s place, is the upper end of the lower bayou. This bayou has been the nortli bank of the Ohio river, where logs and trasli were thrown, for the purpose of forming a cut-off of the north bank ot the river. 1 he rocks ot the ancient amphitheater are arranged as fol- lows: The nrst layer is mutation dark a - . . . . . " . . : sandstone; next comes gray sandstone, then interspersed sandstone; then comes the soapstone, mingled with iron ore blosssom. The spring alluded to was a reservoir tor pure water tor drinking. The whole place and its very surround ings would lead a close observer to draw the conclusions I have explained, that the high ground between the bayou and the river is nothing more or less than a formation made by an upheaval which favored the prosecution of the work done in mnking the grand plaza, or am phitheater. As already shown, the place alluded to was worked by some race or races winch, with a taint knowledge of the arts, loved to do and per form. All who are acquainted with geology and science should go down to me piace spoKen oi anu iukc a coise look, and I assure them that a similar conclusion is inevitable." Smalliicss of the World. Dr. Mosely, after three years and a half opnt in a voyage of scientific exploration around the woyhlj says the voyage left a deep impression of the smalliicss of the earth's surface. We live in the depths of the atmosphere as deep as sea animals live in the depths of the sen. Like these, we can crawl up into the shallows, or mount at peril in a balloon ; but the utmost extent of our vertical range is no greater thnn we can walk horizontally on the earth's surface in a couple of hours. If there were land all around tho equator it would be possible to run around the world in a train in less than three weeks, A walk of four miles a day would bring a man from Behring Strait to Cape Horn in about seven years. The earth as a cqm,-ponent part of the universe may be compared (o a small isolated island on ita own surface. As in the course of ages, such an island developes its own peculiar insular fauna and flora, so probably on the surface of the earth alone lias development of nitrogen occurred in a manner to produce the various forms of animal and vegetable life. To the Pole by Balloon. John Wise, aeronaut, is still hammering away at the feasibility of tho scheme to reach the Nortli Pole in n balloon. He contends that tho Polar area is equal in extent to France, and he believes that an inflowing current q air will carry a balloon into the polar basin, where it is very cairn. To get out he would let the balloon mount np into the higher current always flowing opt. All this would consume not nwro than ono hundred hours of time and the problem would be solved. To reach the polar basin by land or water craft would require a well organized party of 1,000 men, , TROPICAL FRUIT. ue Hundred Million Hnuamui-Thlrly.flve Million Orange and Twenty Million Leniona. Philadelphia Record, 17th. Less than eight vears nco nil the Iron ical fruit consumed in this country entered by way of New York, and the entries at this port were next to nothing To-day two million bananas aro stowed away in one warehouse on Delaware avenue. Half a million eocoanuts are on the wharves. So far this year thirty-five million oranges and twenty million lemons have been landed here from the Mediterranean, while the contracts for the next six weeks show that over one hundred million bananas, two million pine apples and one and a half million eocoanuts will be received here from the tropics during the season. Eighteen fast sailing vessels arc regularly plying between the Delaware and the tropics, and this number will in a few weeks be increased totwentv-three. negotiations having been completed by which five vessels are to be added to the fleet. Two shipments have also been secured for the same trade, one of which is now undergoing the necessary alterations, and will leave this port for ine rmnamas in arjouta lortmght. some idea of the extent to which the trade is moving from New York to this city may be gained from the fact that one local firm claims to receive more West India fruit weekly than any four other houses in the united states. Ihe tropical fruit season has now fairly opened, and the wharves on the Delaware present a busy scene. Bananas are pouring in at a lively rate. Under contracts already effected, from ten to fifteen thousand bunches will arrive weekly in this port until the first week in August, a total of one hundred mil lion during the season. The schooner Mnnuelita is hourly due with two thousand bunches, and ho Ethel A. Merritt will arrive on Saturday with 3,500 bunches additional, making the fourth cargo within a week. A North Delaware avenue importing hnuso has three noors occupied with ,0UU bunches of bananas, each bunch standing from two and a half to three feet in height and averaging lOObananastoa bunch. This tnut goes from fhiladelphia to extreme points west and east. Jo less than two hundred thousand pineapples are booked to arrive weekly until the middle of July, According to present calculations the receipts for the season will average 2,000,000 a lar ger quantity than has ever before been landed at the port in a single season. This fruit comes from tho Bahamas. Of the vessels now on their wav. the Baracao has a cargo of 75,000, and the Mary E. Douglas 60,000, The same vessels also carry a total of 100.000 shells, which are in largo demand for ornamentinj; garden walks, as well as for decorating mantels and making panging DasKeis, The cocoanut season lasts till the ond of next month, and the nuts are arriv ing at quick time. A total of 135,000 were landed last week, and fully half a million nuts are either ashore or on ves sels bound for this port. Fullv an ad ditional million wiliarrive in the course of the next six weeks. Jamaica. Ruatan, in the Spanish Main, and the Bahamas are the places depended upon for the Supply. The Mediterranean fruit season mav now be considered as closed. A couple of sailing vessels have arrived during wiu punt Heeit, out, owing to uetavs caused by storms and adverse winds, fifty per cent, of their cargoes were damaged. Importers say that the ex periment of a steamship line from" the Mediterranean, which has just closed, was not a success. A rough calculation shows that since January 1, 156,-000 boxes of orangos, with an avei- age of 230 to a box, or move than 35,-000,000 oranges ar.d 58,000 cases lemons, each containing about 350, a total of over 20,000,000 lemons, have been landed by steamer from the Mediterranean. Asa result of this glut prices fell to a point never before reached, which made the venture an unprofitable one. Most of the dealers, however, have large Blocks on baud, and calculate that a few days of warm weather will advance prices one hundred per cent. In this way they hope to make up their losses to some extent. He Wanted Some " Scenery." Detroit Free Press. On a train coming East over the Michigan Central road the other day was a t'alifornian bound for New Jersey, and the train had scarcely left Chicago behind when he stopped the conductor and said : "On which side of the car can I best see the mountains?" The conductor told him that there were no mountains along the route, and the man indignantly replied: "What in blazes did you build tho road for? What do you suppose Fin traveling for? This must be a one- horse road if it don't take in at least one mountain I He cooled down after awhile, but in half an hour he tackled the brnkeman with the auerv: "Does this road pass by any old ruins ot interest." The brakeinan couldn't remember ruins except an old log house here and there, and the California!) was mad in a minute. "Do you think I sliijiped on this road as freight or live stock? he called out. "If you don't run past any old ruins, why don't you say so on the time-cards, and not be deceiving people ?" wnentne conductor next came along the caiitorman vas looking trom the window to catch sight of the bridges, and he turned and said : "If we come to any bridges over 800 lect long lust give me the word, don't care about seeing any shorter ones." The conductor had to. admit that the road was trying to get along with a few short bridges, and the passenger bobbed around in his seat and replied : " What did you build your old road for? If you haven't any long bridges on tno line why ttmn t you hunt lor new one?" About thirty miles west of Detroit tho Californian caught sight of a lake atar on, and going out on the platform he asked the urnkeman: 'Don't we run along the shore of that lake, over there? "No; we are as near it as we shall go." "You aye. eh? Then that settles this road with me ! When I come back I'll rido in a lumber wagon. You can take your confounded old railroad and eat it. but vou can t tool me again Looks to me as if tho folks who built it simply wanted to connect Detroit and Chicago, and didn't care a cent for scenery. I'll get off' nt the next station and walk. Feeding Bee.. What is callod glucose in commerce is a thick, gummy liquid mado from starch. It costs by the barrel five cents per pound about ten pounds to the gallon. I do not think it would pay to feed bees on it for any honest purpose. What is called in tho trade grape sugar is a solid, also made from starch, and costs from two to four cents per pound, according to the quantity bought. If dissolved in water it makes a feed which bees will take slowly and on which they will drag out an existence propably in MARRIES.

Hut the great lesson that bee keepers need now to learn is that it does not pay to buy anything to feed bees while you pay someone handsomely for selling your honey. Honey that they have gathered is the cheapest thing that bees can eat. Manage so that you have honey enough for them always in ohe comb, and make them feed themselves, is the way to keep bees on business prin- 1 T) . . T- , , ... . cipies,- Die nerjiern wuyuzuic. Are Empty Honae. Ingnroua 1 Casseirs Hafrssioe.l This question may be fitly asked and answered at a season when thousands of families are thinking about deserting uieir nomes tor a tew weeks, to enjoy themselves nt the seaside or .in travel.-It is asserted that houses that have been shut up for a time may become breeders of disease when they are reoecupied, and that such disorders as typhoid lever and diphtheria have occurred under these circumstances. The cause is considered to be in the disuse of cisterns, pipes and drains, the putrefaction that is engendered by tho impure air in them, the unimpeded access of this foul air to the house, which is at all events not interfered with by the closing of doors and wiidows against the fresh air. Thore is, fortunately, a very simple remedy in such cases. On returning to town, paterfamilias should take care to see that the pipes and drains are in good order, that the cellars and closets are freed of rubbish, and that the whole house is thoroughly well aired before the fiat for possession goes forth. Carbolic acid plentifully used in the cellar is both a cheap and valuable disinfectant. If these straight-forward precautions aro observed, no personal harm can result from the home-coming of the pleasure-seekors. Leech. In sleeping Car. A few weeks ago the passengers in a carriage of a niht express train from Vienna to Berlin wcro aroused from sleep by the shrieks of a lady who insisted that she was being stabbed with sharp instruments in several places. She would not submit to examination, and the guard was at his wits' end what to do, when a stout gontleman roared out that he, too, was being pricked cruelly in various parts of his thigh. Fortunately the train was near a station, at wnicn the guard gave orders to have it stopped, and the lady and gentleman were handed out, their companions following them,-with no small curiosity, into the waiting-room. The gentleman was promptly searched, and six colossal leeches were discovered to be feasting themselves upon his leg. The lady baa swooned from fright and weakness, and had to be left behind in the care of a local doctor. It appears that one of the fiassengers had brought an insuflicient-y covered jar of these blood-suckers into the carriage, and had placed it upon the seat, 'lliey escaped and did the mischief.

There is a decided disposition on the Republican side of the House to prevent the consideration of any general legislation after the disposal of the Warner Silver bill, and prominent members of the party said to-day there wos no doubt but the Republicans would follow this course if an attempt should be made to take up any various other measures which have been reported by committees the present session, other than those making appropriations for the army and Executive branches of the Government. To accomplish this the Republicans will have to refrain from voting, which will leave the House without a quorum. A C0MINO BILL. The House committee on the State of the Law respecting the declaration of the result of the election of President and Vice President to-day agreed upon a bill, and authorized Representative Bicknell, Chairman, to report it to the House with the approval of the committee.

Mr. Edmunds wished to know if Mr. McDonald's opinion its effect was to repeal or only to define existing laws, and it lie thought any legislation on the sub- led necessary. Mr. McDonald said the nrst three sec tions under the title "insurrection," as they appear in the Revised Statutes, were in his mind in offering the bill. He desired to give his views at length Mon day. Mr. Edmunds thought no such legisla tion necessary. It did not look to the abatement of any fault in the existing laws, but he would not object to the bil being introduced. the bill wns received and laid on the table, and Mr. McDonald gave notice that he would call it np Monday and speak thereon. Mr. Wallace gave notice that he in tended to speak on the same subject after tne senator irom Indiana. Mr. Edmunds gave notice that he would speak on the same subject when he could get the lloor under the rules, Laughter. 1 lie senate then took up the bill to pre yent the introduction and spread of con tagions and infectious diseases. Mr. Uockrel, by request, introduced t bill to provide for the construction and completion of certain trans-continental lines oi railway, and for other purposes. Referred.

Mr. Slater introduced a bill to regulate intercourse with citizens of the Chinese Empire visiting or residing in the United States and for other purposes. Ordered to be tabled and printed. The morning hour having expired, Mr. Harris called up the Senate bill to prevent the introduction and spread of contagious or Infectious diseases, and moved to ignore the original bill and consider the substitute reported Irom the committee May 9, which embodied what ap peared to be the views of the majority of the Senate, though not so satisfactory to the committee as was the nrst bill. After further remarks by Mr, Conk-ling, Mr. Edmunds expressed a wish to examine more at length, and on his mo tion the Senate adjourned. ' ' HOUSE. Mr. Goode introduced a bill authorizing the Secretary of the Navy to place vessels and hulks at the disposal of the Commissioners of Quarantine or other proper persons at ports of the United States. Re ferred. The House then resumed, as the business of the morning hour, consideration of the bill to repeal and amend the lawsrelating to the transfer of cases from the State to Federal courts. The Republicans refused to vote on the demand for the previous question, thereby blocking business. Various propositions were thereupon ' suggested on both sides, but were not acceded to. Mr.Frye wanted the bill referred to the Judiciary committee, and Mr. Harris wanted the Republicans, in case the motion was voted down, to withdrawdilutory motions and filibustering. Mr. Conger took exceptions to the use of offensive epithets, and objected to any further statement by Mr. Harris. Mr. Garfield declared that all that was wanted on the Republican side was to have a fair chance for debate, but that was cut off by the demand for the previous question. He thought it better to have the time used in debate than wasted in such attempts. Mr. Fernando Wood suggested that there were other committees that desired to make reports in the morning hour, and that were prevented doing So by this bill blocking the way. He was willing there should be full debate and wanted to know how much time would satisfy the other side, to that Mr. Uarheld replied he could not fix any time. Mr. Harris Name a time and you shall have it. Mr. Conger I will name the third Tuesday in January. fLnnpriteiO Mr. Frye remarked that the bill affect ed every large corporation in the country and should be considered by the Judiciary committee. Mr. Cox was willing to have the vote taken on that motion, but with the un derstanding that in case of its being voted down there should be no more dilatory proceedings, the .Republicans declined to enter into any such arrangement, and Mr. Cox exclaimed: "Then we cannot trust you." Finally, as all efforts at com promise had tailed, and as the Kenuhli- cans declined to vote, there was a call of the House. The call of the House consumed the morning hour and the bill wentoverwith out action until Saturday next. Consideration was then resumed of the Warner Silver bill, and the House agreed to the committee amendment to the bill, winch provides that certihcates ol depos it shall be in a denomination of not less than five dollars instead of ten dollars, as originally provided in the bill. The question then recurred upon the next committee amendment, providing that certihcates oi deposit may be com puted as a part ot the lawtut money re serve of the National Banks. After some debate it waB agreed that debate should be allowed on the eighth section. Mr.Unger opposed the amendment and called attention to the danger of allowing National Banks to count as part of their legal reserve the certihcates provided for in the eighth section, twenty per cent, of which might be issued beyond the coin and bulliou in the Treasury. He charac terized them as "hat" certificates Mr. Buckner asked Mr. Conger whether he would have any objection to the pro vision u that part as to 2U per cent, ad ditional were stricken out. Mr. Conger replied that if there was such an opportunity to amend the section it would remove that objection. Mr. iJuckner We pronose to do that, Mr. Conger That shows the folly of moving tne previous question on the section.Mr. Warner expressed his willingness to vote for an amendment to strike out the 20 per cent, provision. Mr. Longer expressed his sntistaction at witnessing some returning sense of justice on the part of the gentleman from unio. Mr. Hawley expressed his dissatisfac tion with the whole bill. Mr. Springer The law under which these bonds were issued Drovides in terms that bonds shall be discharged in coin of standard value then in existence. I defy the gentleman from Connecticut (Hawley) to point out any act that ever hxed a dif ferent contract for issuing these bonds, Mr. Sapp Did not the Government sell all these bonds lor a premium greenbacks and pocket the difference? Mr. Springer that may be trne, but the law stands on the statute book, and there can be no contract for the sale of those bonds except in pursuance of law. Mr. Sapp Would it be honorable in the Uoycrnment to sell these bonds on gold basis and then turn round and pay them on a depreciated basis Mr. Springer It is honorable for the Government to carry out its contract, and it is illegal and dishonorable tor an; officer of the Government to make a dii fcrent contract than that authorized by law. Applause on the Democratic side. The law which authorized the sale of these bonds is the only authority for issu ing them, and that law says that the bonds shall be paid in coin oi weight and line ncss then established bylaw; that the weight was 25 8-10 grains gold, and 71 2 grains silver, the holder ot the bonds takes that statute with him and takes nothing else. The holders of bonds know that well, because at the last session of Congress a concurrent resolution, offered by Senator Matthews, was adopted which served notice on all holders of these bonds that they were payable in silver dollars ot 4i'j grains each, and since that notice was served more bonds have been taken than ever before. Mr. Chittenden informed Mr. Springer that on J anuary z last he had presented his ten dollar bill at the Sub-Treasury and had received gold lor it, and now, said he (suiting the action to the word), I present a gold piece as a historical record to the gentleman from North Caro lina (Steele). Laughter. Continuing, he said: There is not a word in any dic tionary that I have ever read which fitly expresses the folly and audacity of the authors of this measure for corrupting and inllating the currency. Laughter.! It fairly out-Herods Herod. It implies that a majority ol the American people are knaves or fools. fContinued lauehter.l As to argument with the proposers of this measure oi iniuuioD, you nugui us wen argue with mad bulls. Laughter. J As an executor I own seven thousand dollars in 44 per cent, bonds, for which I paid the Government gold last year. I knew then that the interest is payable in coin, but I also knew that the Government had never not hardly ever, but never loud laughter offered its creditors a dollar in silver for payment for interest on its bonds. If I borrow a good horse from the gentleman from Illinois (Springer) and oner him a bad mule in return, he will say that I am a damned scoundrel. Shouts of laughter. And so I say that the Government of the United States is a damned scoundrel if it pays me in depreciated silver the interest on the $7,000 worth of bonds which I hold for a widow. This proposition for issuing certificates is the greatest monstrosity ever proposed in a civilized Legislature. There is not a member of the House who votes for this bill that will not repent of it in dust and ashes, provided he is Bubject to the honest sense of the American people. 1 thank the great God who made this country that there is no more chance of this bill passing than there is of the country sinking into the bottomless pit of degradation. Laughter and applause. Mr. Warner argued that the provision about 20 per cent, was in the existing law, as npplying to gold, and the only object of the committee on Coinage was to extend the provision to silver. Ho had no objection to its being struck out. After some further discussion the question on the amendment, that certificates may bo computed as a part of lawful money reserve of National Banks wos rejected without division. Mr. Warren offered an amendment pro viding that gold or silver bullion, which shall become the property ot the Govern ment by the return of certificates to the Treasury in payment of dues, shall be coined and paid out the same as other money. Adopted Mr. Buckhcr ottered an amendment to the eighth section, making the minimum denomination of certificates $20 instead of $5. striking out the nrovision that the amount of certificates shall not exceed by more than twenty per cent. the amount of coin and bullion in the Treasury, and adding a provision that all certificates for gold or silver bullion shall be issued at the market value of sucn bullion at the city of New York at the time of deposit. Mr. Uarheld said that the law in reter- ence to gold certificates had been passed at a time when the Government was anxious to get by every means it could all tne goiu posHime into me .treasury, n had invited people who had gold bullion to come into the Treasury and deposit it, in order to strengthen the Government. The twenty per cent, arrangement had been made in consequence ot necessities of the Government at a time when there had been a very small outstanding volume of paper money. Now, when there was a vast volume of that money, when the financial affairs of the country were adjusted on a basis of maintaining that volume at par, it was proposed to re-enact that old clause of 1862, injecting into it silver bullion and coin. What were the certihcates to be issued for? The bill did not say they should be called gold certificates, or silver certificates, or even coin certificates. it was absolutely and hopelessly indefi nite and uncertain. It did not say whether a man depositing silver bullion could get certificates at 412 grains to the dollar; and he hoped that his colleague (Air. Warner) would not demand the previous question until he had taken three or four days to explain his great financial views. The amendment ot the gentleman from Mis souri (Mr. Buckner) made the section less utterly and absolutely bad. but the only safe thing to be done with the sec- nuu was iu Hina.e n out entirely, jiwas not even necessary to the general scope of the bill, except that the bill was now so absurd that it was made more perfect as a specimen of absurdity by leaving in than by striking it out. Mr. Warner said that the law now pro vided that coin and bullion deposited for or representing certificates should be re tained in the treasury lor payment of the same on demand. Any man who had any sense knew that meant that the bullion was represented by the certificate and that no man could claim gold for a certificate for which he had deposited silver. His colleague (Garfield) had better look at the law before he went off in a rage of nsanity. iMo man was more resnonBible for the vicious legislation of which that law was a part than his colleague, and he ought to be the last person to criticise gentlemen who now proposed to correct those errors. Mr. Belford offered an amendment for the reception of bullion at the branch mint at Denver, Col., and the issue of certificates therefor. Adopted. The previous question was then sec onded on the section and pending amendments thereto. Mr. Ewine offered an amendment to Mr. Buckner a amendment. Dividing that certificates of deposit shall be issued at the average market value of bullion silver dollars in New tork and San Francisco for the week preceding such deposit. mis was accepted by Mr. buckner. and incorporated in bis amendment. the previous question was then second ed on the section and pending amendments thereto. The first amendment was that offered by Mr. Buckner, as amended by Mr. t,wing, and it was adopted. The next amendment was the one of fered by Mr. Cloflin, to strike out that portion ot the bill providing that certih cates shall be issued in payment of in terest on the public debt. Kejected. The next amendment was the one offered sometime aeo by Mr. Lonsberrv. striking out the whole section. This was reiected yeas 99. nays 110. Mr. Ewing asked leave to amend the section as amended by Mr, Buckner, by Inserting in lieu of the words "standard silver dollars;" as they occur in that Dart ot tne amendment which was incor porated on his motion, "standard coin of like metal. To this obiection was made, and Mr, Ewing moved to reconsider the vote by which Mr. Buckner's amendment was adopted, for purposes, as he stated, of making the change he had indicated. Mr. Conger moved to lay that motion on the table, and the yeas and nays were ordered, pending which, on motion of Mr. Reed, the House, yeas 100, nays 104; ad journed. HEAR THE SLOGAN.

St. Louis, Mo., May 22. The Broad way Savings Bank closed its doors this morning, in accordance with a decision reached by the directory late lost night, and made an assignment to John Pier- borger. The principal reason for the suspension is said to be the withdrawal of about $100,000 of deposits since May 1, but there are reports current that some Directors of the bank have worked against the interests of the concern, which aided materially in bringing about the failure, Liabilities put at about $700,000, assets cannot be stated, but the President thinks .depositors will be paid in full and there will be something over for the stockhold ers.

Rev. Dr. Jones, of Louisville, and Rev. Dr. Allison, of Pittsburg, addressed the Assembly on the reports. Dr. Allison deprecated the attempt to consolidate the Freedman's matters with Home Missions. He said previous ac tion of the Assembly had given assur ances of a maintainanco of the r reed-man's concerns separate, and contributions had been consequently increased to them. They have not done anything to prejudice the Presbyterian Church in the South, but ore cordially welcomed by leading PresbyterianB South. Rev. Moses A.

Give the colored men their shore of the rood as they traveled and thoy would get along. They want permanent existence to he put on their manhood. He said the idea that colored people did not sppre ciate educated ministers was a mistake that be had preached a written sermon puce every Sunday. The people in his community took to Presbyterianiam strongly. They love to turn out to church, and are trying to learn to read. He told how they all took hold at his request and built a new church, which was poid for when dedicated. Rev. Mack G. Johnson, colored, of the Presbytery of Fairfield, said the people Beemed anxious to understand Presbyte-rianism and embrace it. All that is needed is encouragement by sympathy and aid. We don't want to be carried on the shoulders of the oeonle of the North, but just to be taken by the hand as a child is taught to walk, work had been making great progress in the last ten years. The harvest there is great, but laborers are few. Educated ministry of the Presbyterians is appreciated, and has a power which is felt by old time ignorant preachers, who contend against it. Rev. Maguger G. Hoskins, Presbytery of Catawba, colored, in charge of a church connected with the Scotia Seminary, said rresbyterians are getting to be known for their high character of morality and-knowledge. As people become educated they are ready to loin the Presbyterian Church. Freedmen want Bchools and churches to be planted together. They want every one interested in the work to come and see for themselves and they will be satisqed, Cumberland Assembly. Memphis, Tenn.. Mav 22.

Indications of the F.xlslenee of Such an AITalr on the Ohio In Vanderbnrg Comity. Evanaville Journai.l All aloiiE the Ohio river there are marks of change in its bed, and traces ot prehistoric and savage occupancy, which are ot extreme interest to the searcher after antiquities. Dr. Stinson, who is indefatigable in his pursuit of such treasures, has discovered what was probably a prehistoric amphitheater, where savage sports or sacrifices were performed. His statement roourrcport-cr is as follows: " There is a rock point below the city of Evansville, which, I believe, has in part been the work ot human hands in the ages gone by. A great many of the rocks are so arranged as to cause one to draw a conclusion at once or form an idea of the placement by hand. T,n the first place I wovtld call attention to the fact that there is an indication of an amphitheater. In going around the upper part of Mr. Maddock's farm, there is a gradual slope rounding off in the shape of a half circle. )Jt must have been, a place ot amusement lor rude, uncivilized people. There hasseeming- ly been in the lower part a deep spring dug out, which was kept for drinking, and the river tor Datuing purposes, and above this, between Mr. Maddock's farm and the rolling mill, running through ingle s place, is the upper end of the lower bayou. This bayou has been the nortli bank of the Ohio river, where logs and trasli were thrown, for the purpose of forming a cut-off of the north bank ot the river. 1 he rocks ot the ancient amphitheater are arranged as fol- lows: The nrst layer is mutation dark a - . . . . . " . . : sandstone; next comes gray sandstone, then interspersed sandstone; then comes the soapstone, mingled with iron ore blosssom. The spring alluded to was a reservoir tor pure water tor drinking. The whole place and its very surround ings would lead a close observer to draw the conclusions I have explained, that the high ground between the bayou and the river is nothing more or less than a formation made by an upheaval which favored the prosecution of the work done in mnking the grand plaza, or am phitheater. As already shown, the place alluded to was worked by some race or races winch, with a taint knowledge of the arts, loved to do and per form. All who are acquainted with geology and science should go down to me piace spoKen oi anu iukc a coise look, and I assure them that a similar conclusion is inevitable." Smalliicss of the World. Dr. Mosely, after three years and a half opnt in a voyage of scientific exploration around the woyhlj says the voyage left a deep impression of the smalliicss of the earth's surface. We live in the depths of the atmosphere as deep as sea animals live in the depths of the sen. Like these, we can crawl up into the shallows, or mount at peril in a balloon ; but the utmost extent of our vertical range is no greater thnn we can walk horizontally on the earth's surface in a couple of hours. If there were land all around tho equator it would be possible to run around the world in a train in less than three weeks, A walk of four miles a day would bring a man from Behring Strait to Cape Horn in about seven years. The earth as a cqm,-ponent part of the universe may be compared (o a small isolated island on ita own surface. As in the course of ages, such an island developes its own peculiar insular fauna and flora, so probably on the surface of the earth alone lias development of nitrogen occurred in a manner to produce the various forms of animal and vegetable life. To the Pole by Balloon. John Wise, aeronaut, is still hammering away at the feasibility of tho scheme to reach the Nortli Pole in n balloon. He contends that tho Polar area is equal in extent to France, and he believes that an inflowing current q air will carry a balloon into the polar basin, where it is very cairn. To get out he would let the balloon mount np into the higher current always flowing opt. All this would consume not nwro than ono hundred hours of time and the problem would be solved. To reach the polar basin by land or water craft would require a well organized party of 1,000 men, , TROPICAL FRUIT. ue Hundred Million Hnuamui-Thlrly.flve Million Orange and Twenty Million Leniona. Philadelphia Record, 17th. Less than eight vears nco nil the Iron ical fruit consumed in this country entered by way of New York, and the entries at this port were next to nothing To-day two million bananas aro stowed away in one warehouse on Delaware avenue. Half a million eocoanuts are on the wharves. So far this year thirty-five million oranges and twenty million lemons have been landed here from the Mediterranean, while the contracts for the next six weeks show that over one hundred million bananas, two million pine apples and one and a half million eocoanuts will be received here from the tropics during the season. Eighteen fast sailing vessels arc regularly plying between the Delaware and the tropics, and this number will in a few weeks be increased totwentv-three. negotiations having been completed by which five vessels are to be added to the fleet. Two shipments have also been secured for the same trade, one of which is now undergoing the necessary alterations, and will leave this port for ine rmnamas in arjouta lortmght. some idea of the extent to which the trade is moving from New York to this city may be gained from the fact that one local firm claims to receive more West India fruit weekly than any four other houses in the united states. Ihe tropical fruit season has now fairly opened, and the wharves on the Delaware present a busy scene. Bananas are pouring in at a lively rate. Under contracts already effected, from ten to fifteen thousand bunches will arrive weekly in this port until the first week in August, a total of one hundred mil lion during the season. The schooner Mnnuelita is hourly due with two thousand bunches, and ho Ethel A. Merritt will arrive on Saturday with 3,500 bunches additional, making the fourth cargo within a week. A North Delaware avenue importing hnuso has three noors occupied with ,0UU bunches of bananas, each bunch standing from two and a half to three feet in height and averaging lOObananastoa bunch. This tnut goes from fhiladelphia to extreme points west and east. Jo less than two hundred thousand pineapples are booked to arrive weekly until the middle of July, According to present calculations the receipts for the season will average 2,000,000 a lar ger quantity than has ever before been landed at the port in a single season. This fruit comes from tho Bahamas. Of the vessels now on their wav. the Baracao has a cargo of 75,000, and the Mary E. Douglas 60,000, The same vessels also carry a total of 100.000 shells, which are in largo demand for ornamentinj; garden walks, as well as for decorating mantels and making panging DasKeis, The cocoanut season lasts till the ond of next month, and the nuts are arriv ing at quick time. A total of 135,000 were landed last week, and fully half a million nuts are either ashore or on ves sels bound for this port. Fullv an ad ditional million wiliarrive in the course of the next six weeks. Jamaica. Ruatan, in the Spanish Main, and the Bahamas are the places depended upon for the Supply. The Mediterranean fruit season mav now be considered as closed. A couple of sailing vessels have arrived during wiu punt Heeit, out, owing to uetavs caused by storms and adverse winds, fifty per cent, of their cargoes were damaged. Importers say that the ex periment of a steamship line from" the Mediterranean, which has just closed, was not a success. A rough calculation shows that since January 1, 156,-000 boxes of orangos, with an avei- age of 230 to a box, or move than 35,-000,000 oranges ar.d 58,000 cases lemons, each containing about 350, a total of over 20,000,000 lemons, have been landed by steamer from the Mediterranean. Asa result of this glut prices fell to a point never before reached, which made the venture an unprofitable one. Most of the dealers, however, have large Blocks on baud, and calculate that a few days of warm weather will advance prices one hundred per cent. In this way they hope to make up their losses to some extent. He Wanted Some " Scenery." Detroit Free Press. On a train coming East over the Michigan Central road the other day was a t'alifornian bound for New Jersey, and the train had scarcely left Chicago behind when he stopped the conductor and said : "On which side of the car can I best see the mountains?" The conductor told him that there were no mountains along the route, and the man indignantly replied: "What in blazes did you build tho road for? What do you suppose Fin traveling for? This must be a one- horse road if it don't take in at least one mountain I He cooled down after awhile, but in half an hour he tackled the brnkeman with the auerv: "Does this road pass by any old ruins ot interest." The brakeinan couldn't remember ruins except an old log house here and there, and the California!) was mad in a minute. "Do you think I sliijiped on this road as freight or live stock? he called out. "If you don't run past any old ruins, why don't you say so on the time-cards, and not be deceiving people ?" wnentne conductor next came along the caiitorman vas looking trom the window to catch sight of the bridges, and he turned and said : "If we come to any bridges over 800 lect long lust give me the word, don't care about seeing any shorter ones." The conductor had to. admit that the road was trying to get along with a few short bridges, and the passenger bobbed around in his seat and replied : " What did you build your old road for? If you haven't any long bridges on tno line why ttmn t you hunt lor new one?" About thirty miles west of Detroit tho Californian caught sight of a lake atar on, and going out on the platform he asked the urnkeman: 'Don't we run along the shore of that lake, over there? "No; we are as near it as we shall go." "You aye. eh? Then that settles this road with me ! When I come back I'll rido in a lumber wagon. You can take your confounded old railroad and eat it. but vou can t tool me again Looks to me as if tho folks who built it simply wanted to connect Detroit and Chicago, and didn't care a cent for scenery. I'll get off' nt the next station and walk. Feeding Bee.. What is callod glucose in commerce is a thick, gummy liquid mado from starch. It costs by the barrel five cents per pound about ten pounds to the gallon. I do not think it would pay to feed bees on it for any honest purpose. What is called in tho trade grape sugar is a solid, also made from starch, and costs from two to four cents per pound, according to the quantity bought. If dissolved in water it makes a feed which bees will take slowly and on which they will drag out an existence propably in MARRIES.

Hut the great lesson that bee keepers need now to learn is that it does not pay to buy anything to feed bees while you pay someone handsomely for selling your honey. Honey that they have gathered is the cheapest thing that bees can eat. Manage so that you have honey enough for them always in ohe comb, and make them feed themselves, is the way to keep bees on business prin- 1 T) . . T- , , ... . cipies,- Die nerjiern wuyuzuic. Are Empty Honae. Ingnroua 1 Casseirs Hafrssioe.l This question may be fitly asked and answered at a season when thousands of families are thinking about deserting uieir nomes tor a tew weeks, to enjoy themselves nt the seaside or .in travel.-It is asserted that houses that have been shut up for a time may become breeders of disease when they are reoecupied, and that such disorders as typhoid lever and diphtheria have occurred under these circumstances. The cause is considered to be in the disuse of cisterns, pipes and drains, the putrefaction that is engendered by tho impure air in them, the unimpeded access of this foul air to the house, which is at all events not interfered with by the closing of doors and wiidows against the fresh air. Thore is, fortunately, a very simple remedy in such cases. On returning to town, paterfamilias should take care to see that the pipes and drains are in good order, that the cellars and closets are freed of rubbish, and that the whole house is thoroughly well aired before the fiat for possession goes forth. Carbolic acid plentifully used in the cellar is both a cheap and valuable disinfectant. If these straight-forward precautions aro observed, no personal harm can result from the home-coming of the pleasure-seekors. Leech. In sleeping Car. A few weeks ago the passengers in a carriage of a niht express train from Vienna to Berlin wcro aroused from sleep by the shrieks of a lady who insisted that she was being stabbed with sharp instruments in several places. She would not submit to examination, and the guard was at his wits' end what to do, when a stout gontleman roared out that he, too, was being pricked cruelly in various parts of his thigh. Fortunately the train was near a station, at wnicn the guard gave orders to have it stopped, and the lady and gentleman were handed out, their companions following them,-with no small curiosity, into the waiting-room. The gentleman was promptly searched, and six colossal leeches were discovered to be feasting themselves upon his leg. The lady baa swooned from fright and weakness, and had to be left behind in the care of a local doctor. It appears that one of the fiassengers had brought an insuflicient-y covered jar of these blood-suckers into the carriage, and had placed it upon the seat, 'lliey escaped and did the mischief.
